genuwine concern

bush read a reasonably good speech today, considering his point of view, outlining at least some american position on the middle east conflict. maybe theyve accepted that if they can broker a peace it would actually be a major foreign policy victory for bush. i would accept him as the reluctant peacemaker even if he was forced to confront the problem because of his desire to "get saddam". theres little downside for bush to get involved at this point as his lack of resolve is beginning to hurt him in the polls and he aint invading iraq without some arab acquiescence.

absolutely nothing

�Why should I go to kill and to be killed � for what?� says Ron, one of about 400 Israeli soldiers refusing to join the fight in the West Bank and Gaza.

�This is a war that we have no chance to win,� he says.

Lt. Itai Ryb got the call to serve on Friday. But this week he decided to pack not for war, but for jail, joining other refuseniks who have signed a letter saying they�d rather go to prison than serve in the military campaign.

�This war is not acceptable to me,� he says. �I can�t take part in it.�

The Israeli action in the West Bank is wrong, he says, because �it�s occupation, it�s illegal; mostly it harms the well-being of Israel. The sooner we end the occupation, the sooner we�re going to have peace in this country."
